Implement GetFileHandle in dump entry interface

Certain applications need to offload the dump in various
ways, for example, performing DMA transfer of the dump to
the host memory. These applications require direct access
to the file to read from the BMC storage.

This commit introduces the GetFileHandle method in the
dump entry interface. This method provides direct access
to the Unix file handle of the dump entry, facilitating
more direct read operations on the dump file.
The returned file descriptor is read-only, which ensures
the integrity of the dump file.

The definition of the file handle is moved from the
specific 'bmc_dump_entry' class to the parent 'dump_entry'
class. This allows all dump types inheriting from
'dump_entry' to use this new method, thus increasing
its utility across various dump types.

The introduction of this method primarily benefits PLDM
for offloading the dump to the host, and bmcweb for
offloading the dump to Redfish clients. By providing
a file handle instead of exposing the file path,
it resolves potential access issues for applications
running in non-root contexts.

Test:
Created a dump and made sure it reached host
successfully

phosphor-debug-collector

Phosphor Debug Collector provides mechanisms to collect various log files and system parameters. Used to troubleshoot problems in OpenBMC based systems.

One such mechanism is dreport, a script that collects debug data and packages it into an archive file.

To Build

To build this package with meson, do the following steps:

    1. meson builddir
    2. ninja -C builddir

To clean the built files run ninja -C builddir clean.

To run unit tests

Tests can be run in the CI docker container, refer local-ci-build

or with an OpenBMC x86 sdk(see below for x86 steps).

meson -Dtests=enabled build
ninja -C build test
